The Day Before Friday

[rivers and roads]

[rivers and roads]

Nap time. He goes down fine.
5 minutes later, a very large truck pulls up to the neighbors with the reverse/caution beeping. He stirs, but falls back asleep.
10 minutes later, the workers start throwing chunks of concrete into the truck, one by one. (His bedroom is adjacent to their driveway).
He wakes up, but goes back to sleep.
They leave.
15 minutes later, the power company parks in front of our house with a wood chipper to break down all the trees they cut on our block yesterday. Dog on the other side of our house is going nuts at this loud machine.

Sorry, kid. We tried.

Omg I love that gif.

[trtlcrzy]

Man, that's annoying rivers and roads. Hopefully his second nap is peaceful.

I took H to preschool and then went to barre class. I talked to the instructor about my groin/hip flexor issues and she gave me some stretches that should help it not kill me tomorrow.

So very tired. DD woke up at 12:30, 2:30 and was up for the day before 6. And of course, I didn't get to bed until way later than I should have.

I had to go to the doctor today to get a prescription renewed. Both the main hospital parking lot and the office building parking lot were full. But I managed to find a spot on the street that had over 2 hours left on the parking meter. Score!

I have been working from home most of this month because my train line is under repair. I think it is time I get back to the office. I just called into the meeting, and the 4 people, all in the office today, totally forgot I was on the line and left the room continuing the conversation without even hanging up the phone.

I'm sitting at a clinic. My coworker that rode to the conference with me is being seen for possible impetigo. She had a cold sore and apparently more turned up this morning so she emailed her doctor and based on what she told her, she thought it sounded like impetigo and urged her to go be seen. So here we are. We are missing (or missed) lunch and since we have to go grab our own lunch we'll miss a big chunk of the 1 session I really wanted to be at, sensory. So that's kind of a bummer.

Oh, she's out. Not impetigo.

That's annoying. Too bad she couldn't have dropped you off before she went to the doctor.

kelle017 have you seen the new free to grow tulas? I NEED the floral one.

[tkford216]

I got to an episode on GB Baking where I need a dictionary, lol. Spotted dick? Roly poly? Pudding? What? Hahaha

[mrssmith613]

I'm at work today. I'm training someone new and she thinks she knows everything and wants to argue with me about anything I say. WTF am I training you for if you already know everything!!!!

I hate that. Shut up and listen!

[kellybenelly83]

I'm killing time today. I'm literally waiting on people and can't really progress on my own. My boss is away, my coworker is out sick.
Had a nice lunch with a girlfriend, she bought me a chocolate which was sweet.
I'm now making mental calculations, I ovulated (not ttc) and on the minipill, so while highly unlikely, I need to make sure I know when I'm due for af.

[trtlcrzy]

My tapa updated and I keep getting popups all over the place. It's driving me nuts.

[leahks77]

Holy wtf I'm exhausted. Got to bed to bed around 930 this am and slept until 1 when we had a furnace inspection. Then ran errands (which all ended up being extra annoying) before picking up the kids. I did manage to swing by the gym for 30 mins of cardio so that was good. Still feel like I'm fighting this cold but it doesn't feel any better or worse.
Tonight I have a meeting of my towns Newcomers Club. It's not actually for Newcomers, but it's called that. It's essentially a moms group that does a lot of community work. I am dreading it. I'm exhausted and just not in the mood. I hope it's quick

Sounds like a long day. I hope you get some good rest tonight.

I feel so bad for DS. His whole upper arm where he got vaccinated is one big hard welt. He has a bump on the other side too. DD2 only has a bump around one injection site. Thankfully they're not feeling as warm as they were this morning (the 3 hour nap may have helped!)

Our conference is right at our hotel but she rode here with me. So it was basically I take her or send her with my vehicle. We ended up making it back just in time for the sensory session to start so that was good!! I was thinking we'd miss a bunch of it but it started later than I thought.

Poor kids, I hope they're better soon. S got a bump/red mark where her chicken pox shot was. It lasted a lot longer than I thought it would.

[trtlcrzy]

S is working on a molar. She's been using her teeth all day today when she's been nursing. Which is not a fun time. I dosed her with Motrin and am hoping she sleeps ok tonight. The tooth hasn't cut through but I could feel a big bump back there. Her bottom far left tooth just broke through a couple days ago so that's probably bothering her too.

One of DH's co-workers gave DD some pajamas for her birthday and has been bugging him for a picture of her wearing them ever since. I consider these pajamas ridiculous because they are one-piece that I have to pull over her head, AND there are 15 snaps. I wrestled her into them tonight so we could take the picture. I didn't put the matching hat on her because 1. her head is ginormous and 2. she is a year old, she doesn't sleep in a hat. People who don't have kids shouldn't design baby clothes.

[leahks77]

So not only did the meeting last forrrrever, I volunteered to chair an event. I've never chaired an event before. It's a touch a truck thing. Should be fun but apparently it's huge. So will be a learning experience for sure. But C will be SO EXCITED and they were going to cancel it if nobody offered... so yeah. The things we do for our kids.

[morwen]

Ugh I'm so exhausted all the time. Getting up in time to catch my bus to work sucks.

We're still settling back into a routine but DS is having fun with MIL during the day and he seems to be napping okay, just not sleeping well over night still.

I think he might be working on a molar, so hopefully the Motrin helps

I'm enjoying feeling baby kicks and I'll be 24 weeks on Sunday so yay v-day.

It sounds like one that is designed for a tiny baby but they make it all the way up to 12 months or whatever. My sister gave me this really cute outfit for H when she was a baby. The problem was that it was knit, had BUTTONS from one ankle to the other, and a hood. Not practical at all. I think I put her in it once for like an hour and then S in it once.

This is H in it.

TRIGGER WARNING


I got a call tonight that my uncle passed away. He is a transient so no one really ever knew his whereabouts, even his kids. He passed on 3/11 or 12 but today they finally found contact info for my cousin. How sad for her and her brothers. I haven't seen him since I was a kid probably. He had very poor health the last I knew.

[swivelchair5]

trtlcrzy, sorry for your loss. What a sad situation.

Yes, it is the same sort of style.  If there are a bazillion snaps, I don't want to wrestle it over her head, too.  This is an 18-month size. I got the picture, she slept in it last night, and after I wash it, I am going to put it in storage. I'm not putting that on her again.
